Pair of antique Victorian encaustic floor tiles in the
Gothic Revival / Puginesque style, made by William Godwin of Lugwardine. In a heavy earthenware, they measure approx.
5 inches square and are marked Godwin to the back. They came in a card box attributing them to
the floor of the nave of Chichester Cathedral (see last photo – box not
included with sale). In good, original
condition overall, though there is some cemented tile adhesive residue to the
back and sides, plus there are a few chips to the edges, as per the
photos. The surface glaze has worn and
there is some variation in colour tone.
